For those of you who didn't know, this year we moved away from all our family and friends - about 1,000 miles away! So this year was our first Christmas on our own. Until the evening of Christmas Eve, we thought we would just be home by ourselves on Christmas Day - which would have been a bit strange since we both have a rather large family and have never spent that day away from them. But when we were at our church Christmas Eve service, another family invited us over to share Christmas Dinner with them. It was such an incredible gift - and a huge blessing! So I wanted to make a thank you card for them - to let them know how blessed and thankful we were for their kindness.

Hello everyone! GiGi here again from The Cricut Bug to share a card I made using My Craft Spot's Bundle Of Joy stamp set. YES, Bundle Of Joy!

Christmas is only a couple of days away now and sometimes we forget the true meaning of Christmas. I know I do. We get caught up shopping for that perfect gift, making the best meals, etc. So I wanted to share this card, a reminder to me what it's truly about.

First off I have to tell you that this card is SO much prettier in person. I tried and tried to get a really good picture, but it just wouldn't come out any better than this.

The manger scene was cut from Winter Frolic and I used lots of embellishments on it. I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen face, added chunky glitter to the star, and a added shredded raffia for the hay in the bed. The shadow layer and the card base were cut from metallic gold paper. I inked the edges of the cream background and added a metallic gold strip at the bottom with a raffia bow. To finish, I stamped the sentiment from My Craft Spot's Bundle Of Joy stamp set. What a perfect sentiment for this card, wouldn't you agree?

I want to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thank you so much for stopping in today and if you would like to see more of this card, please visit me at The Cricut Bug. HUGS!

Hi everyone! This is Ally fromRock Paper Cricut,here with a cute packaging idea I came up with for those gift certificates you want to give. Most gift certificates fit in legal sized envelopes. I wanted to *dress* mine up a bit.

From a plain white envelope, to a cute little gift. I used the new *Lacy Banners* metal dies paired with the *Chunky Alphabet* by My Craft Spot for the banner.

The cute little Santa owl is from the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge on page 37 cut at 2.25".

I stamped the *Merry* from the *Joy To The World* stamp set. I also added a traditional red twine bow at each end of my banner. These are so quick, cute, and easy to make!!!

Here are theenvelopes I started with from Staples.

I hope you enjoyed this post and have a safe and wonderful holiday season. If you have any questions--please stop by Rock Paper Cricut. ~Ally

Hello everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug to share a card with you. I used My Craft Spot's Joy To The World stamp set on this card. I have been trying to get some last minute cards done and I can't believe that Christmas is less than a week away!

This is my attempt at a white on white card. Every time I see one, I think to myself, how pretty!

This card has LOTS of embossing and dimension. I used 3 different embossing folders for this card and cut the horse from Winter Woodland. I added some glitter stickles to the gray parts of the horse and popped him up along with the snow at the bottom. I tied some silver tinsel trim around the bottom, punched the oval, and stamped the sentiment from My Craft Spot's Joy To The World stamp set.

I hope you all enjoyed seeing my card and if you would like to see more about it, please come visit me at The Cricut Bug. Have a great day!
